We had our Christmas Musical three nights in a row and many people turned up each night.
On the first night, the lights flickered even while Thomson was songleading. There were 2 blackouts (well, not a total blackout) and something was definitely wrong. We discovered later that it was because of the lights where the canopies were. We switched those off and everything went smoothly after that. Thank God!
The stage, which was 9.5 ft in height, was built to accomodate 50 people on the highest tier, also known as the 3rd tier. This was a challenge for Bro Pang as we had a tight budget this year. Thank God for wisdom and available sources. Scaffolding was placed under the stage for a firm and strong support.The entire choir (a.k.a the angels) was placed on the 3rd tier, where Heaven was. Little dancers danced whenever there was a heavenly scene.
About 60 people were involved in the drama. The key actors and actresses had to sing their lines.Key Actors/actresses
Joseph - Derrick Yeoh
Mary - Jennifer Woon
Jesus (crucified) - Edwin Bala
Jesus (before birth) - Bernard Mariadass

All good things must come to an end. After our last performance, we gathered as many people to help with the first part of "undressing" the stage.

Hi Rachel,
I am a pianist in Moss Point, MS and my church is looking for a demo cd of this musical, "From Heaven's Throne" since ours was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Would you happen to know where I could find one? My email address is mercy4meandu@yahoo.com Thank you so much.
